    Though I haven't shot either my vote goes to the ruger. I read that the remington is suggested by the manufacturer not to have +p loads run through it. Or atleast run through it often. It may seem a minor issue considering the pedigree but i see it as an unnecessary limitation the Ruger does not have. Plus i dont like the remingtons thumb safety. My only gripe about the ruger is the the frame and slide are cast not forged. Just my 2 cents....

    The RIA Tactical seems to have good reviews from what I have seen around the forums, and is very reasonably priced. I personally prefer the basic GI models, I opted for the Auto Ordnance 1911 and love it.

    My Ruger SR1911 is on order, and although I own several 1911s, the wait is getting a bit painful. Everything I have read about this new offering from Ruger says it will be a winner. From gunwriter reviews to actual owner postings, nothing negative to be found. And, once the clammor has died down a bit, you will not find a comparable 1911 at a better price.

    Holster? If you are planning on CCW with this 1911, well, here I go again, ...Crossbreed Supertuck, combat cut. Great choice from a great bunch of people. You can comfortably wear a full-size 1911 all day with this holster. Stay safe.

    I'd have to lean towards the SR1911

    G, do you own stock in Glock? I personally know a Glock dealer and even he doesn't push them as hard as you do!

    The only Paras I have experience shooting are the tactical models with light rails. All were accurate enough and well made. I never had the chance to actually add one to the family but wouldn't be adverse to it if/when the chance comes along.
